For bargain hunters, there are few things better than Amazon's daily Gold Box, their one-day sale outpost featuring premium products at steep discounts (and often in limited quantities). The problem is, each day features something on the order of 10,000 results — how are you supposed to sort the gems from the also-rans?

Simple, you don't. We do. Here are the best deals we've seen today on Amazon. Get 'em while they're hot!

41% Off Amazon Tap (Certified Refurbished)

The Tap is the middle child of Amazon's devices: it doesn't have all the cool built-in tech of the big Echo, and it's not as cheap as the smaller Echo Dot. But it deserves more recognition, because it has far better audio quality than either of them, and it's also portable, which no Echo device can claim. And on top of being a superior speaker, it still has Alexa built-in — you just have to push a button to access her, which some might say is preferable to having her listening all the time.

52% Off Klipsch R-10B Bluetooth Soundbar

Soundbars are a popular way to improve your home audio setup without breaking the bank or getting too complicated. Most of them offer just a passable improvement over your TV's speakers, but not this one from Klipsch. It boasts an impressive 250 peak watts of power, more than enough to give you a theater-quality experience. And look at the size of that subwoofer! Play a Michael Bay movie over this thing and you'll have the cops called on you no less than three times.

55% Off Mpow Bluetooth Headphones

A lot of people prefer over-ear headphones to the earbud variety, because the sound is usually better, they block out more noise and they're less likely to fall off your head. These don't have active noise canceling like some more expensive headphones, but a) you don't really need that and, b) the battery lasts a lot longer, to the tune of 13 hours on a single charge. These in particular are a best seller, with impeccable reviews.

76% Off AOMAIS Sport II Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker

Some people look for top-tier sound quality in a Bluetooth speaker, but other times you just want a cheap, durable speaker you can bring without without worrying about breaking it. I say, why not have both? This bestselling, top-rated speaker sports a solid 40 W peak output with enhanced bass and simulated surround sound. But it's also more durable and waterproof than 90% of all so-called "waterproof" speakers on the market. Its IPX7 rating means that you can submerge it in 3 feet of water for up to 30 minutes, and it'll keep right on jamming.

13% Off 1byone Belt Driven Bluetooth Turntable

Music really does sound better on vinyl, but records take up a lot of space. What's why, while it's nice that this turntable has a built-in speaker so you can enjoy your music, it also features vinyl-to-mp3 recording. That lets you digitize your music at the highest possible quality, and puts you in control of file sizes, compression etc.

17% Off MEE audio Sport-Fi M6 Noise Isolating In-Ear Headphones

For my money, this is the ideal headphone design: earbud style so they're lightweight for exercising, but with an over-ear shape that keeps them in place during even the most vigorous activity. These are IPX5 rated, so sweat and water shouldn't be a problem. And since they come with 6 different pairs of ear tips, they'll work in just about everyone's ears.

17% Off Denon AVRX1400H 7.2 Channel AV Receiver

It only makes sense to save the best for last. If you really want to up your game and build a home theater with 5, 6 or even 7 sound channels, you need a stereo receiver that can handle them. This one supports up to 7.2 channels, powering them with 80W per channel — enough, in Denon's estimation, to "fill medium size rooms with unique demon sound." I don't know what the hell "demon sound" is, but I know that it sounds rad and I want it. It's also certified by Amazon for working with Alexa, meaning you can control your demon sound with your voice.
